^real ET!

Anyway, keeping the themeeeee.

VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V!

It's always amused me that they made a holiday out of it though. I mean, he broke into parliament in order to blow the place up. Granted he was unsuccessful (I think the gunpowder got wet?), but it's like, if the 9/11 terrorists had failed at destroying the twin towers, it'd be like making a holiday of that where you build some model towers and blow them up each year. Crazy.

But hey, bonfire night was great, I have some good memories of it from when I was a kid, although wiki has their dates a bit wrong, since I was born in 83:

Wiki said:
Bonfire Night was celebrated in Australia until the mid- to late 1970s, when sale and public use of fireworks was made illegal and the celebration was effectively abolished.
